Wuthikorn (Boy) was a great guide for our full day trip to Doi Inthanon. I let him know in advance that my party might not be able to do a strenous hike (which it sounded like in the description) and he reassured us that we would be fine. There was only one short uphill section, but otherwise it was a nice (mostly downhill) walk and the views were amazing. We have been to Thailand before and we wanted a local perspective and we were able to have great conversations and insights from Boy on the current realities of Thai people and the Karen tribe who we visited. We also appreciated that he brought us to the 'less touristy' stop overs for food, but we went to a more local spot as well as a very impressive coffee stop at a gas station(!) It was rainy season in July so we weren't sure what to expect, but the rains made Doi Inthanon even more beautiful though we had no visibility and a lot of rain at the Twin Pagodas. Overall, it was still worth doing even in July rainy season - and the secret waterfalls at the end was magnificent. Definitely recommend Boy as your guide.

Our guide was phenomenal, bringing the heart of the local culture to life! He introduced us to inspiring local women, sharing their daily routines and traditions, which gave us a deep appreciation for their way of life. We savored authentic local dishes at a charming spot with stunning views, immersing us in the region’s flavors and hospitality. The breathtaking waterfalls he took us to felt like a sacred part of the land’s story. Every moment was enriched by his passion for the community’s customs and warmth, making this cultural experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!

She made our trip!
Our trip was a great experience but after spending the day with Naphat our time in Chiang Mai will always be remembered in a much better light thanks to her
She was so knowledgeable and was able to answer any and all questions we had and was a pleasure to be around. We can't recommend her enough and we will most definitely be seeking out her vast knowledge and welcoming demeanor on our next trip to Chiang Mai!

Our Tour guide Boy was phenomenal. He taught us a great deal about the nature & history of our experience. He was super friendly, knew all the locals, and answered the 50 questions we had. We had such a great time on the tour grinding coffee, eating fresh fish made by a local, touring the rice farms, hoppping into the back of a pickup truck to see the Twin Pagodas in a stunning mountain of fog that felt like otherworldly. Boy also knew all the right spots for beautiful photos.
